The aToothsoma Eel.

From time immemorial cells have al. ways been much esteemed by epicures- more, perhaps, in ancient days than they . are now. Aristotle and Arl5tophancS both mention cels in terms of high praise i; indeed, the formor recognized at least two distinct species of cels.
 By the Egyptians ecls were regarded with great abhorrcaco % tho embodiment of m evil demon; but other nations did not share tho prejudice. for the BGotlans, who were celebrated for their cells, used them as sacred offerings.
 Mission, in his "Trc.vcls," tells of a VOW mado by the inhabitants of Tc-rac!Ia, a seaport of Italy. when bcsicgcd by tho Turks. They vowed to offer 10000 eels nycar to St. Denedict if he would deliver 2 thom from their peril Whether ford memory of stewed cells touched the saint VIC do not know, but the siege was raised, and the Benedictine monks got their cels every year from the virtuOus and grateful inhabitants.
 The Venerable Bede mentions tho eel fisheries of Britain In his History of tho Anglo-Saxon Church" and an instance Is quoted of the magnificence of the famous Thomasaa Beckett that, when he travelled in France, "ho expended the large sum of a hundred shillIngs in dish of ecls.' Any one who could now sit down to cope with dish of eels of the value of 6 would indeed have gastronO- mic capabilities likely to make an Alder maIl-dle Of envy. -t
 But in the eating of cells, excellent as they are 1t Is we'll to remember the ad- vices given in the ancient medical book entitled |" Regimen Sanitatis SalcrniG." Who knows not physic should be nice

= "A PRETTY WEDDING.

AbOct 20 Saturday a young couple entered the grain store of Tsrhox Ham, on HaynIsrket square In Lewiston, and asked if Judge Smith was in. The judge was sitting in the back of1ce looking out at tho drizzlIrg rain. Hearose. and with his welcome smile approached the couple. ''Is this Judge Smith9" was the question of the young man. across whose face a bashful blush swept sus- piciOusiy.
 "It Is. was the reply of Lewiston's oldest and one of her most respected justices.
 "we want to get married" was the straightforward response.
 The young lady, who was remarkably bright and pretty, blushed furionsly at this. and stood 0 little nearer to her afianeed.-
 Judge Smith looked up quickly at this rcqucst. cleared his throat littiec put his hands in his coat pocket, and pulled out bis handkerchief, asked for and ex- amined the attested publication certifl- cate. and finally, with benevolent smile, said he would be pleased to do it.
 When do you want to be InarrledT' he asked.
 "Now," was the response. the bride blushing again.
 hHSFcf ESkcO lnC guuSc.
 Here" wGs the reply.
 The grain store, with Its dusty floors and eob1cbbed windows, seemed aetrange place for zuch an event. The brightness Of the tride was the happicst picture In 1t. The rain was pattering down just outside the open door and StreaEing crosswise down the windows. Piled high around were bags of meal and shorts and cottonsoed. Shovels, hoes, rakes, corn baskets and apple parers were on every side.
 There were one or two customers in the store. Three or four meatbcdeckod drivers stood by the doorway. 4 truck team backed up to the door, and man came bustling in out of the rain. The couple followed Judge Smith into the llttIo office. The door was not shut be- cause there Is no door to the office. The couple stood before the venerable Justice. who pronounced tho marriage ceremony and tied a knot as firm and good as ever was tied, between as honest looking couple as ever stood anywhere in the world, beforeany parson, priest, or Bishop.
 When tho ceremony was over the bride was blushlng like peony undor the eyes of the witnesses, and her checks were brighter than the extra ribbon tied about her throat.
 The groom said, "All right, my dear, come" and out they went together. BGr- ring smlrch of meal upon the wedding frock. there was no sign of tho grain storo &s they stepped out. "As prettya we'd ding as ever saw." said one of the wit nesses.--[ Lewiston Journal.

Around tho chcerless hearth the chil- drcn prcSScd, b Pale. patient, brooding OCT the dreaded morrow Likc ha.-ncdged birds forsaken in the nest, Too cowcd to weep, too dulled with gloom and sorrow. Upon tho wall tho treasured portrait hung, That well-remembered smile forever gono, That pure white neck round which their arms had clung, Those lips once warm with kiss and benison. At overy fancied footfall, white with fear, The children started, tremblcd. glanced around, Gszed in each others eyes and seemed to hear 1uc D NOiCo HI ofSly paSSIHE, sound. How will she come2 with frown, or bale ful smile Tot fearfuller. to greet the shrinking throng? How look, how speak? Why tarries she meanwhile, Thus wautonly their torture to pro- long? At last sine comes. Hush, hush, unwol- como guest, Usurper of dead rites and dearest ties An, no! false fears it is vision blest- An angel stands before their glistening eyes, With such smile as mild Madonnas wear, Oh! such look-so gracious and so meek The twilight glimmering round her gold on hair, And tears of tender pity on her cheek.
